ABSTRACT:
A two dimensional puzzle is disclosed comprising thirty-six four sided tiles. Each of the tiles includes some means for indicating its orientation; and all but one of the tiles further comprises a part of at least one means for matching the tile to other tiles. The matching means illustratively is an interlocking connector having a male and female element one of which elements is disposed in a side of a first tile and the other of which is disposed in a side of a second tile to which the first tile is connected. Each of the four side surfaces of each tile has either a male connector element, a female connector element or neither element; and each tile has a different combination of these three features on its four sides. The puzzle is to arrange the thirty-six tiles in their correct orientation in a six-by-six rectilinear array so that the tiles interlock. Extensions of the puzzle to other dimensions are also disclosed, in particular, a three-dimensional puzzle of 216 blocks that can be assembled in a six-by-six-by-six array of interlocking blocks.
